The "friends of China who see its rise at the head of the BRICS and SCO as a net gain for humanity" are a major part of the multipolarista trend:
"... the doctrine that global multipolarity --removing the unipolar US from the pinnacle of the imperialist heap-- will somehow produce a more just world and even move us closer to socialism. While capitalists in many countries would welcome leveling the economic playing field and freeing markets for others to exploit, a multipolar world offers no obvious benefit to working people... success in blunting US power holds little consequence for exploited workers in Asia, Central and South America or Africa, who continue to be exploited." https://zzs-blg.blogspot.com/2024/09/what-history-teaches.html C. R. characterizes China lackeys as "capitalist ideologues, pacifists and various Stalinists." * Overt capitalist ideologues are few, although many spout the theory of productive forces. A good number of the productive-forces crew are outright beneficiaries of PRC patronage, like Vijay Prashad. * Pacifists, yes, like Medea Benjamin and Code Pink, also funded from China. * The unhelpful label is "various Stalinists." Some China lackeys are. There are also plenty of "Stalinists" who are not China lackeys, like Greg Godels, author of the article quoted above, and yours truly. And of course there are also Trotskyist lackeys of China, and variants like PSL. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
